Ratings and reviews

Almost a year since the last update and STILL : 1) Like others I've found that a lot of times the system is unresponsive - e.g. "Apply Boost" often does nothing but show the spin icon and eventually time out. To get it to work I usually have to "force quit" and relaunch the app. 2) The app STILL doesnt record everything in the Activity log. E.g it will record Boost OFF, but not ON (!?). I thought this would be an easy fix.. There's obviously an issue here - I'm far from the only one..

Been great for 2 years. Recently boost function is erratic. Some I set it but wont record. Sometimes says it is saved but nothing happens boiler dosnt start even waiting.Sometimes have to change timer In beginning Patrick at EPH got back to me right away with solution in place which has with some initial difficulty sorted a problem A vital piece of info It says gateway code shown on the side. Could not find it and used another number on box. Wouldn't work. The Gateway number is on the BACK.

I have ember devices in two houses. The app is fantastic for setting the heat/water or boosting it when out & want to come home to warm house. The reason I am writing this review is the back-up service is excellent. I had an issue due to my internet being updated. I have never come across a company who will stay on the phone until you get sorted & talk you through everything. They always answer the phone no matter how many times you ring, you deal with the same contact. An unbelievable Company.
